No, I think the fin shape is wrong. How about the Short Scion in Oz with Gipsy Minor engines?

No claim of seniority.

I've keep looking at all three, but even the Wackett Gannet doesn't have such a 'de Havilland' style fin as the silhouette does

Update: I've just looked at the 'Tugan Gannet' picture on Wikipedia and it has a far straighter fin leading edge than the others. Maybe its the prototype?

I reckon Noyade has got it.

Of course Noyade has got it.

If he had not, there would have been endless p#ss- taking innit!

Your innings Graeme.

(maybe I shouldn't say innings.....)

Just fishing. Other than the fin, pretty close, eh?

Somebody must show vital signs out here, right fighter boy?

Not bad, but there are other differences.

Well yes, like the nose. Knew all the time it wasn't but cannot stand the silence.

Seen those exhaust pipes somewhere but cannot remember now..... (want another vague excuse?)

Did you know that Chrislea CH1 was designed by the same guy Bill Goldfinch, who desgined and used the Colditz glider? He died a couple of years ago.

Good morning / afternoon! One of the "minor" European countries? Or, maybe the 50 million (humhum) cannot be wrong?
